Travel along the same roads used by the St. Louis Southwestern Railway from the 1800s until the 1970s, otherwise known as the Cotton Belt. This 11-mile trail is divided into two sections with numerous sights to see along the way, including neighborhoods, city parks, and retail and business shops. Although the trail itself is an easy ride, it does come across a few busy intersections and road crossings. It is important to keep an eye out for activity on the road in addition to the other cyclists and runners on the trail.
